The question structure of the Storage Administrator (EMCSA) Specialist - CLARiiON Solutions certification exams validates the knowledge and expertise of an individual to deal with and administer EMC information infrastructure solutions.

The certified individuals also prove their proficiency on how to advocate and the techniques of efficiently incorporating and exercising EMC information infrastructure solutions in real-life and practical situations.

Achieving this certification is the indication that the certified professional can entirely utilize the latest EMC technological product, services and solution to recommend other IT officers for directing towards the efficient incorporation of EMC, and partake in storage related decision-making processes.

The main reason why I took E20-522: CLARiiON Solutions certification was the industry-oriented course contents. The main topics of this certification-exam are as follows:

How to Configure, manage, and administer CLARiiON arrays in the heterogeneous open systems along with SAN environments

How to assess and architect the CLARiiON solutions

How to integrate local and remote replication tools and technologies to deliver fast and trusted data mobility as well as efficient business continuity capabilities
